Clayton Kershaw did not bring his grade A pitching to Pittsburgh. Pirates are up 3-0 after five batters and no outs. #LADVsPit

The Dodgers bullpen is going to pitch 6-7 innings today. It will be adventurous for sure. PIT now leads 4-0 with only one out on the top of 1st inning. #LADvsPIT

Ohtani just homered to bring the Dodgers to be within two runs of PIT. Mookie just singled during the top of 3rd with no out. PIT 4, Dodgers 2. #LADvsPIT

The exit velocity at 120 mph just sounds different. Wow. #LADvsPIT

Andy Pages just hit a solo shot to tie the game for the Dodgers! Score is now 4-4 during the top of 4th with one out. Makes you wonder what if he batted ahead of Conforto who struck out with two on bases during the previous inning. #LADvsPIT

Clayton Kershaw has battled back from a disastrous 1st inning to pitching very well from 2nd through 5th inning. He has thrown 82 pitches through five innings after throwing 35 during the first inning. Score is tied 4-4 and we are at the top of 6th inning. #LADVsPIT

It's safe to say the ball found the glove during this play.

Dave Roberts brings in Edgardo Henriquez to pitch the top of 6th inning and he promptly gave up two walks and a hit to allow the Pirates to score the go ahead run. The Dodgers vaunted 2025 bullpen strikes again. #LADvsPIT

Cal Raleigh has cooled off substantially since the end of July but is still leading the MLB in home runs.

Blake Treinen just gave up a 2-run double. Pirates 7, Dodgers 4 through 6th inning. #LADvsPIT

Fortunately, the Pirates' pitching is just as inept as the Dodgers. Dodgers scored 2 during the top of 7th. Would have had a 3rd run except for some boneheaded base running. #LADVsPIT

Dodgers fans, press, team in mid-August: "just wait until the injured players come back" Early September: returning relievers burn down the house during every game. #LADVsPIT

The Dodgers relievers are now officially competing for the "DFA" list. Kirby Yates allowed an earn run during his one inning of work. Pirates are now up 9-6 and we're going into the top of 9th inning. #LADVsPIT

The Opium War of 1842 would like a word.

Shohei Ohtani is now 2 for 4 with a double, home run, and two RBIs today. I don't want to hear about "Ohtani can't hit in pressure situations". #LADvsPIT

The Dodgers ended up losing 9-7 to the Pirates today. The offense stayed with PIT all game long with 12 hits. However, the bullpen could not stop giving up lead off walks to the Pirates. Clayton Kershaw had a terrible first inning but pitched well during the next four innings.
